Functional Fiber Research Intern

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. The posting includes: About Ingredion (company description) maybe "About the role"? The job description includes "What You Will Do" (Responsibilities), "What You Will Bring" (Qualifications/Requirements/Skills), "Who You Are" (maybe Skills?), "To Be Eligible For Consideration" (Requirements), "Why Join Ingredion?" (Benefits), "Pay Range" (Pay). No schedule info. So we should include sections: About the role? The posting includes "About Ingredion" but not exactly "About the role". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include "About the role" if we have content describing the role. The posting includes description of role: "As the Functional Fiber Research Intern, you will support progression...". That could be under About the role. We'll include that. Responsibilities: "What You Will Do:" list. Requirements: maybe "To Be Eligible For Consideration" (eligibility) plus maybe "What You Will Bring" includes qualifications. We'll separate: Requirements (eligibility), Qualifications (education/experience), Skills (interpersonal etc). But we can combine if thin. Better to have separate sections if content. Benefits: "Why Join Ingredion?" includes list of benefits. Pay: "Pay Range: $22-42 USD/hr". Also mention housing stipends etc. That's part of benefits but also pay. Schedule: none, so omit. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, AI, etc. Remove those paragraphs. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep details like location, workplace type, etc? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Location and workplace type could be minor metadata; we could include in a short

after the heading? But they said we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Probably we can include a

with location and workplace type after the About the role heading? But they said use

for section headings; we can have a

for prose. So we could have a

after About the role heading containing location and workplace type. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is Functional Fiber Research Intern. We'll not make a heading for it. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's extract content: About Ingredion paragraph: "Join Ingredion, where innovation impacts lives worldwide!

This is substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about pay determination; we could include in Pay section as a note. Benefits also includes: "Benefits: Full-time roles are eligible for our comprehensive benefits package which includes medical, dental and vision coverage as well as a 401(k) plan with a competitive company match ." This is about full-time roles, but internship may not be full-time; still it's a benefit statement. We could include under Benefits. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO paragraph at end should be removed. Also the AI-enabled tools paragraph should be removed. Also the Relocation Available: Yes, Within Country line maybe minor metadata; we could incorporate into Benefits or drop. It's minor; we could drop. We need to output only HTML fragment. Structure:
